Hi I have a LAN with DHCP and DDNS running, I have just installed Debian
on one of the computers. This new computer isn't specifying a name when
doing the DHCP lookup, so the DDNS hasn't got a useful name for it to use.
How do I specify a name for the computer to use with DHCP?
There is a name in /etc/hosts
$> hostname
linux
$>

I had to set my machine's hostname in /etc/dhclient.conf to get it sent out.

Thanks for the tip, that worked. The computer has a name again.
Regards Neil.
